Christ is the end of the Law for every righteous person, but as long as a person has not become righteous, as long as he still lives lawlessly, for him not a single stroke or dot of the Law will pass until the Law is fulfilled in the person in the Love of the Holy Spirit. For every person, the Law is mandatory until the baptism by the Holy Spirit, because for Christians, those who live by the Holy Spirit, there is no longer a law; as long as this world exists in a person, as long as the person in baptism does not become a new creation, where everything already lives by new laws – Love, Freedom, and Truth in the Holy Spirit. And before baptism – everyone is under the protection of the Law. Since our word (like any word of the Church) is addressed to the announced, for the announced, for the sake of the announced, we will interpret, explain the Constitution, laws, sub-laws, supplements, clarifications, amendments to the laws-commandments so that the announced are law-abiding (because ignorance of the law (Truth, Orthodoxy) does not exempt from misfortune, does not free from hell-hell!), righteous, to whom the angel-herald is sent in due time (when the announced, by zealously fulfilling the Law – all God’s commandments, to the smallest iota of the spirit-meaning of the Constitution – become capable with humble and contrite hearts to reciprocate God’s declaration of Love!).
The task of our prophecy is to expose heresies, deceptions, traditions of the elders, and to point to the Truth (based on the principle: first dismantling, and then installation – see III ch.), so that the announced stand in the Truth, in Orthodoxy – trust in the Truth, Orthodoxy saves, leads to union with the Lord Jesus Christ, to the baptism by the Holy Spirit, to the Freedom of the Holy Spirit, and trust in heresies, deceptions – leads to perdition!
Orthodoxy = right-action. Correct, appropriate actions come from correct, orthodox faith, from correct, orthodox thinking, from correct teaching-knowledge. The main thing in the work of salvation is for a person to act correctly, truly, but to act orthodoxly, a person must believe (trust) in the Truth. Heresies are deadly because they essentially aim at the salvation of a person, to divert a person from salvation, integrity, goal. Orthodoxy is therefore strict, uncompromising in matters of faith (there can be no compromise with heresy! – see details about heresy in III ch.). Only the integral, orthodox (and not heretical, selective) fulfillment of all God’s commandments (and not their heretical, selfish interpretations of God’s commandments) leads to righteousness, to humility, and, as a result, to the baptism by the Holy Spirit, that is, the acquisition of the Holy Spirit!
Now we will briefly remind some of the basic principles of Theognosia, dogmas-oros-boundaries on the path to Truth, which we talked about in previous parts (for more details about the Theognosia of the Church, about dogmas, the basic principles of Orthodox faith, talk with Vladimir Lossky, Alexei Osipov, John Zizioulas, Christos Yannaras, and other our friends-advisors; and, of course, if necessary, with us directly (by arranging a “meeting” via e-mail), if we are still in this (II) form of existence).
All the teachings, testimonies of the Church are about One – Personality, Hypostatic Being – Love and Humility, Humble Love, about inexpressible Love and incomprehensible Humility! (For example, the Trinitarian dogma – about Hypostatic Freedom and Love, about being as communication-perichoresis based on the principle: to give oneself entirely to the Other, to accept the entire Other and “not to be”, kenotically self-reducing for the sake of the communion of Others (see I ch.); the Christological dogma – about the Love of God the Father for the world (“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son on the Cross, for the sake of salvation-deification…”), about Divine Humility-Kenosis, about Hypostatic union in Christ of God and Man. All dogmas about Hypostasis-Personality, Love-Freedom-Humility, about Hypostatic
Being). The Church does not prove anything – it testifies to its experience of God-knowing, God-knowing, and explains (what can be said with a word worthy of God) its faith to those who ask, so that they consciously, responsibly trust the Church and begin to announce themselves, prepare for baptism. The Church is the realm of freedom, the realm of consciousness (there is no unconscious freedom!). Christians are those people who have something to say to everyone who demands from them an account of their hope. And this answer is as follows: I love Him Who first loved me and Divinely Loves me! This is the answer to everyone who asks about Christianity (the essence of which is Love for Jesus Christ and for everything of Christ’s), who inquires: “Why are you a Christian?”! I cannot but love Him Who so Loves-Gifts me with everything, everywhere and always! Glory-Thanksgiving to God for all and for everything! Glory to You, God! Glory to You, God! Glory to You, God, glory to You!
